YOUNG EXPLORERS: TRISTAN

Planning out ‘Valerian’ used some lower-tech methods

Valerian1_main-1280x600

At FMX I got a chance to sit down with Valerian vfx supe Scott Stokdyk. We went through how the film was made, including a look at the video-vis director Luc Besson shot with his film school students. See the story at Cartoon Brew.

‘Inhumans’ new trailer brings Medusa’s hair to life but still no sign of Crystal’s superpowers

The first trailer of Marvel’s Inhumans introduced all the members of the Royal Family. However it looked rather dry and plain except for Lockjaw’s entry. The second trailer was released at San Diego Comic-Con Thursday night and we now have something to look forward to.

In the previous trailer, we did not get a glimpse of anyone’s superpowers, as it was strictly establishing the background of the Royal Family politics which would bring the Inhumans and humans at the brink of war.

The trailer opens with a woman who is unaware of her powers. She is being chased by some pursuers when the green-skinned Triton appears out of nowhere and offers to take her to Attilan, the city where Inhumans reside. In the new trailer, we see Maximus’s resolve of taking Inhumans to Earth getting stronger as also does his desire for the throne.

While Maximus persuades his brother and Inhumans’ leader Black Bolt to take some action before humans found them, it seems like he pushes the sophisticated Medusa to her limits. That proves good for us as we finally see her tougher-than-steel hair come to life, not to the point of satisfaction though.

Gorgon displays his stomping feet power and Karnak is shown as a faithful member of the Royal Family- reporting the antics of Maximus and aiding in the fights. We also get to see Black Bolt’s grunt when he is punched by the police officers on Earth. It breaks the glass of the nearest car and sends it flipping.

Lockjaw is in his usual self and more adorable and commanding in this trailer. What feels completely missing however is Crystal’s ability. In both the trailers, there are no signs or even hints of her capabilities considering she is one of the most prominent characters among Inhumans.

As we wait for Medusa’s hair to do more wonders, we also highly look forward to seeing or getting even a peek at her younger sister Crystal’s powers.

The trailer also chooses to focus on the IMAX experience which Marvel and ABC are offering. The first two episodes of Inhumans will premiere in IMAX theatres on 1 September, 2017. The series itself  will be debuting  29 September on ABC channel.

Tomorrow Studios to turn One Piece into a live-action TV series

The cult Japanese anime One Piece is set to hog the television screens once again but this time as a live-action TV series as it is getting its own Hollywood adaption.

The creator of the anime series, Eiichiro Oda recently confirmed the news as One Piece celebrated its twentieth anniversary and Tomorrow Studios will be producing it.

The studios’ Prison Break which just wrapped its fifth season this year is one of the most successful creations and its executive producer Marty Adelstein is entrusted with taking the project forward.

The former Endeavor Talent member will have his plates full as he now has to assemble a team both cast and technical, who have the required aptitude to metamorphose the cult manga into a live action without compromising its standards.

Adelstein says, “I have been a fan of One Piece for 20 years. I am very honoured to be entrusted with the work. I will put my everything into making the One Piece series successful.”

Tomorrow Studios have the experience in discovering talents and they currently head one of television’s leading shows. Hence, this is not an uncharted territory for them. Yet, given Hollywood’s history at failed anime adaptations, this is their biggest challenge thus far.

Earlier this year, another famous anime of the 90s Cowboy Bebop was announced to have its own Hollywood adaptation. The futuristic background of the show does make its live-action version an audacious one. Regardless, One Piece is a totally different kettle of fish.

One of the most successful and followed Japanese anime of all time, One Piece is stretched across 800 episodes whereas the comics have sold over 350 million copies worldwide. The start of the pre-production, the launch, the broadcasters all remain undecided, but Oda is said to make an announcement soon.

A few years ago, the prospect of watching One Piece as a live-action series seemed unimaginable. But now that it has been confirmed, our excitement knows no bounds!

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ new trailer is badass and downright insane! You don’t want to miss this

The second trailer of Thor: Ragnarok was released at the San Diego Comic Con and it is bloody awesome!

As we saw in the first trailer, Thor: Ragnarok introduces a lot of new characters from the comicverse to the storyline that takes place entirely outside of the Earth, in the regions of a few of the other eight realms.

The trailer opens with a shot of Asgard followed by Thor conversing with the Gladiator Hulk in the gladiatorial arena, narrating the incidents that happened with him since he last saw Hulk. And after that, it is two minutes of just pure action, slow-motion shots, prodigious destructions and characters reprising their roles to the fullest.

From the trailer, it is evident that Loki and Thor will team up to defeat the goddess of death Hela, who has arrived as Asgard’s death. And Banner, who seems more than happy to help Thor. Joining the team will also be the leader of Valkyrior, Valkyrie.

There will be a lot of highlights in terms of characters, major ones being Hulk and Thor’s chemistry and the wicked smile and dramatic dialogue delivery of Hela. Additionally, we have the first looks of the wolf Fenris and the mighty Korg.

Korg belongs to the Kronan race and the character is played by director Taika Waititi himself. A Kronan-race warrior had previously appeared in Thor: The Dark World as an invader of Asgard and was defeated quite effortlessly by Thor. In Ragnarok however, (if we follow comics) Krog shall play an ally of Hulk, fighting on the side of Thor.

While Loki will be seen getting back to his mischief, wait for the very charming God of Thunder to go shirtless. The ending shot of Hulk going single-handedly against fire giant Surtur is sure to captivate all. But well, still no signs of Doctor Strange…

Apart from the story and characters, there are the visual effects done in epic proportions, bringing to life the beautiful worlds in the (other than Earth) realms, Hela’s sinister look, Hulk’s gladiator look, newly designed spaceships, massive armies of Asgardians, Fenris Wolf and the occasional flashes and thunder at Thor’s entry. The most breathtaking of all however is the shot of Valkyrie’s entry along with her squad of warrior goddesses who arrive on enchanting Aragorns (white horses that can fly).

Produced by Kevin Feige and directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok hits theatres on 3 November, 2017. And it’s gonna kill with that IMAX 3D experience!
